The Barakah Tree is a heartwarming tale about Kareem, a young boy who witnesses his once-vibrant town slowly lose its Barakah as people become too rushed to greet each other with salaam, pray together, or share meals.
When a tree-planting contest is announced, Kareem sees an opportunity to help his grandparents and town. Through his journey of planting and nurturing a tree with care and devotion, children learn that sincerity, patience, and doing things with ihsaan (excellence) might not bring immediate rewards, but eventually bear the sweetest, most unexpected fruits.
This story speaks to readers of all ages. For children, it’s an engaging adventure with colorful characters. For adults, it’s a gentle reminder to say bismillah consciously, make sincere intentions, work with excellence, and trust in Allah’s perfect timing.
Beautifully illustrated in hardcover format, this debut children’s book by international bestselling author Mohammed Faris (The Productive Muslim, The Barakah Effect) brings timeless Islamic wisdom to life in a way the whole family can enjoy together.
